Trajedy As A Player Died While Celebrating A Goal On The Field by preach93: 6:25am On Oct 23, 2014
After a grand farewell for Peter, his body has been taken to his hometown Khawzawl accompanied by close friends and relatives, as well as loyal football fans and authorities from Aizawl.
Following an injury resulting from a somersault during a match with Chanmari West FC, Bethlehem Vengthlang FC midfielder succumbed to his injury and breathed his last around 7 am this morning, the 19th of October, 2014.
The fateful match that kicked off at 2.45pm at AR Lammual, Aizawl was the 5th Round of Samsung 3:16 Plan Solution Mizoram Premier League Season 3. Chanmari West had been leading by a goal which Peter equalized in the 60th minute of the match. His celebratory somersault took a wrong turn when he fell headlong on the pitch. He immediately lost his mobility.
After initial First Aid by medical attendants on the pitch, he was removed to the Civil Hospital, the nearest hospital from the grounds. CT Scan reports showed that his spinal cord was heavily damaged by the fall. He gradually showed signs of improvement though paralyzed from neck downwards. He fought hard for life for four days and five nights at the hospital, but finally succumbed to his injury much to the bereavement of his family, friends and the numerous football fans following news reports on his condition.
The residents of Bethlehem Vengthlang bid farewell to their beloved hero with a grand reception of his body attended by a great number of people after which the mourning party moved to Aizawl Venglai where Peter currently resides. After a short farewell programme there, he was finally taken home to Khawzawl where vigil authorized by the YMA will be maintained the whole night. His funeral will be conducted tomorrow, Monday. Peter’s death has shocked and saddened many football fans not just in Mizoram, but across the country as well. The Indian Super League also gave a moment of Silence for Peter.
The story of this 23 year old player just in the prime of his life has touched the hearts of many people. The news that he had donated his eyes for the needy has further endeared people to him. Though he is now deceased, he will remain forever alive in the hearts of people who will remember him for the great discipline he maintained as a footballer, and all his contributions towards the noble sport. http://.in/2014/10/tragedy-as-man-died-from-celebrating.html
